Man, what's with the x-axes in those graphs? Yikes those legal fees are astoundingly high. Any particular reason why? Really great post, thanks for sharing it.
(co-founder here) The lion's share of those costs are related to drafting the investment agreements. It is a lengthy process if you want to do it properly, especially if you haven't done it before. Usually you sign a term sheet first that roughly outlines the content of the agreement. The devil is in the details though, so the full agreement may take a couple of weeks to finish. Then there is due diligence, option pool, and a bunch of other stuff to consider before the deal is sealed.
Indeed. As if one needed more proof that the TechCrunch <-> PR industry loop is rotten to the core:
During the three months [the $15,000 per month PR firm] were working with us, their most important achievement was a piece of news that generated lots of traffic, leads and job applications, namely this TechCrunch post. It ended up being a very positive article filled with product images of Lookback. One could argue we could've achieved that post ourselves but I'm not so convinced. We had submitted news tips to multiple sites previously but to no avail.
The mimimal-ui property in the viewport meta tag hides the top and bottom bars. In landscape, they are completely absent, and the only way to get them to appear again is to tap the top of the screen or rotate to portrait and tap the miminal top bar.
Haha yeah, well. User account growth is indeed slowing and is down to 1% the last couple of weeks. I thought that was obvious from looking at the graph but I'll clarify it in the article. Recorded minutes are growingly steadily though and are still increasing with about 5% week over week.
Jonatan, I may be superficially misjudging from your team photo on Sqwiggle [1], but as a company seeking to "collect, understand and share" user experiences from apps for all kinds of demographics all over the world, perhaps looking forward you might want to strive towards increasing diversity in your team.
You already have a work flexibility ethos to build upon, so it will be easier for you to make the adjustments and compromises needed. Besides, your company is still young so the changes in culture and early hires you do now will have a lasting impact.
We've been using Lookback for internal testing on our upcoming iOS release @ Craftsy. It's been super helpful. We're hoping to do some user testing with it over the next few weeks as well. Great service guys, congrats on the continued growth.
